FUEL GAUGE BATTERY PACKS (FIG. 15)

LED lights that indicate the level of charge
remaining in the battery pack.
To actuate the fuel gauge, press and hold
the fuel gauge button (T). A combination
of the three green LED lights will illuminate
designating the level of charge left. When
the level of charge in the battery is below the usable limit, the fuel gauge will not
illuminate and the battery will need to be recharged.
NOTE: The fuel gauge is only an indication of the charge left on the battery pack.
It does not indicate tool functionality and is subject to variation based on product
components, temperature and end-user application.
